All of our Saturday and Sunday races were held on Callander Bay in front of the North Bay YC: modified Olympic triangles (triangle+sausage+windward, buoys to port) with the start/finish line about halfway up the windward leg.
...

Pouring rain, none too warm, either: It seemed to pay to go left up the first beat - sort of.
Here most of the fleet is parading in along the port-tack lay line.
...

the first reach was more of a run: (l to r) Frank Goulay, Dwight Aplevich, Alastair Ryder-Turner, Uncle Al

A fine start to the 2008 Nationals for Rob and Samantha Werdsma, Andrew with Lori, Sue with Steph,
Dave with Kim and Al Nichols with Ken Nethercott who lie 1st through 5th near the gybe mark.
